Makers of Mahesh Manjrekar’s Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale SLAM Everest’s Public Notice – “False, misleading, and without basis”

-
Bollywood Hungama was the first one to report on July 12 that Everest Entertainment published a public notice in Atul Mohan’s Complete Cinema magazine in the June 28 – July 5, 2025 issue, informing the public and industry that they have the rights to the 2009 cult Marathi film Mi Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy. The notice was published after the teaser of Mahesh Manjrekar’s Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale was dropped online. The film is all set to release on Diwali and is perceived as a spiritual sequel to Mi Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy. Bollywood Hungama has now learned that the makers of Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale, on July 7, have also published a public notice, in reply to the public notice of Everest Entertainment. The notice was published in Film Information Magazine by advocate Manjit Singh Jolly. It stated that “The public in general and the media and entertainment industry in particular are hereby informed that at or around 28-06-2025 and 05-07-2025, a p...

Bad City review – retro homage to 80s Japanese thrillers is elegantly pulpy

-

A taskforce of honest cops is assembled to tackle the gangsters menacing Kaiko City. Many punches are thrown in choreographed style

Director Kensuke Sonomura started off as a stunt performer and coordinator, so it’s no surprise that his second directorial effort contains lashings of hand-to-hand combat. Indeed, just as the climactic cops v gangsters showdown is about to kick off, elderly lawman Torada (Hitoshi Ozawa) urges everyone not to use silly, unsporting guns, and miraculously both sides agree and go to it with fists and knives. It’s just as well because, hitherto, almost every time someone has fired a gun in anger in this film they have missed the target. Does that mean all those movies where folks hit their target with one bullet are lying? Or is this one, where everyone is pants at shooting, the misrepresentation? Either way, it’s almost enough to make you question your core beliefs in the efficacy of cinematic firearms.

Anyway, if you like watching actors and stunt folk battle it out, this is great stuff but the connecting plot strung between fights is more of a chore. In fictional Japanese metropolis Kaiko City, corruption is rife and it all seems to stem from Wataru Gojo (Lily Franky) who has designs on redeveloping a poor part of the city. As Gojo is announcing his bid to become Kaiko’s mayor, we see a bathhouse of lushly tattooed yakuza get wiped out by a single long-haired squinting assassin (Tak Sakaguchi). Is he working for Madam (Rino Katase), queenpin of the Korean mafia in Kaiko, who rather entertainingly dresses like someone trying to shoplift all the stock from a Versace boutique at the same time. The chief prosecutor and his assistant put together a taskforce of honest cops from the Violent Crimes unit, and place Torada in charge, even though up until now he’s been in jail on charges that connect him to Madam.
